FOREWORD 


The  editor  of  this  Biographical  Record  of  the  Lutheran  Theological 
Seminary  at  Philadelphia  writes  these  final  words  out  of  a  thankful  heart — 
not  so  much  because  the  task  is  finished,  as  because  it  was  so  well  worth 
the  doing. 

The  impatience  aroused  by  vexatious  difficulties  and  delays  in  securing 
information,  and  the  regret  felt  in  writing  the  unhappy  history  of  a  very 
few  names,  are  all  forgotten  in  the  overwhelming  sense  of  consecrated 
endeavor  and  divine  blessing  represented  in  the  records  of  more  than  one 
thousand  men,  whom  the  Philadelphia  Seminary  helped  to  prepare  for  the 
Ministry  of  the  Gospel. 

The  Seminary  and  the  Church  may  well  be  proud  of  such  a  record  of 
constructive  achievement  and  spiritual  influence  affecting  hundreds  of 
thousands  of  souls  in  our  congregations  and  communities.  It  is  a  record 
of  preaching  and  teaching"  and  pastoral  care;  of  missionary  zeal  and  self- 
sacrifice  in  the  great  cities,  on  the  frontiers  and  in  foreign  lands;  of 
editorial  labors  and  authorship;  of  administrative  responsibilities  and  com¬ 
mittee  tasks;  of  watchfulness  and  prayer  and  loving  service  in  the  spirit 
and  Name  of  Jesus  Christ  by  men  who  dedicated  their  lives  and  their  gifts 
to  Him  and  to  His  Church,  and  whose  ministry  has  been  wonderfully  blest. 
Such  a  record  compels  not  only  admiration,  but  reverence  and  thanksgiving. 

This  volume  was  projected  by  the  Alumni  Association  and  the  editor 
was  appointed  by  it.  The  Seminary  has  cordially  furthered  the  work  and 
assisted  in  its  publication. 

The  editorial  plan  provides  brief  biographical  sketches  of  all  professors 
and  alumni,  with  trustworthy  information  objectively  and  uniformly  given. 
Parishes  served,  with  dates,  are  given  as  fully  as  possible,  but  it  has  been 
found  impracticable  to  give  detailed  parochial  statistics,  such  as  accessions, 
financial  statements,  church  building"  programs,  etc.,  and  these  have  been 
omitted  from  all  records.  Official  positions  in  Synods  and  General  Bodies 
are  indicated,  but  Conference  positions  have  not  been  included.  An  effort 
has  been  made  to  record  committee  work  when  particularly  important  or  of 
long  duration.  Positions  of  honor  and  trust  and  influential  work  in  the 
community  have  been  noted  so  far  as  possible,  and  an  especial  effort  has 
been  made  fully  to  record  all  literary  work  of  consequence. 

The  attempt  to  include  complete  records  of  the  many  special  and  other 
students  who  spent  a  year  or  more  in  the  Seminary,  but  did  not  graduate, 
proved  impracticable  and  the  plan  was  abandoned. 

It  was  only  with  the  greatest  difficulty  that  exact  information  could  be 

5 


FOREWORD 


obtained  concerning  some  of  the  early  graduates,  many  of  whom  are 
deceased,  others  no  longer  in  the  ministry,  etc.  The  records  of  quite  a  few 
other  alumni  presented  almost  as  great  difficulty,  because  repeated  requests 
for  information  were  ignored,  and  questionnaires  not  returned.  But  in 
nearly  all  these  cases,  correspondence  with  relatives,  classmates  and  friends, 
and  persistent  searching  of  Faculty  and  Archive  material,  the  Minutes  of 
Synods,  College  and  Seminary  Catalogs,  Synodical,  Conference,  and  con¬ 
gregational  histories,  and  obituary  notices  in  Church  almanacs  and  weeklies, 
have  yielded  some  facts.  With  several  hundred  thousand  separate  items 
recorded  it  is  too  much  to  hope  for  entire  accuracy,  and  the  editor  will  be 
grateful  for  corrections  and  important  additions  that  should  be  made  in 
future  editions. 

The  compilation  of  such  a  Record  would  have  been  impossible  without 
the  cordial  assistance  of  many  persons,  and  this  is  gratefully  acknowledged. 
But  the  editor  is  particularly  indebted  to  President  Henry  E.  Jacobs,  whose 
unflagging  interest  in  the  work  from  its  beginning  to  its  conclusion  led  him 
to  give  to  it  many  hours  of  valuable  time,  and  supplied  exact  information 
and  innumerable  “clues”  leading  to  results  otherwise  unattainable ;  and  to 
Miss  Mary  E.  Kaighn,  Assistant  Librarian  of  the  Krauth  Memorial  Library', 
whose  painstaking’  researches  and  intelligent  handling  of  the  material  have 
contributed  to  the  fullness  and  accuracy'  of  the  Record.  The  Rev.  Clarence 
H.  Swavely,  ’22,  now  of  the  India  Mission  Field,  also  made  extensive 
searches  and  prepared  a  large  part  of  the  manuscript  for  the  printer.

THE  OLD  SEMINARY  ON  FRANKLIN  STREET 


HISTORICAL  SUMMARY 

With  the  farseeing  vision  that  characterized  all  his  activities,  the 
Patriarch  Henry  Melchior  Muhlenberg  from  the  very  beginning  saw  that 
the  establishment  of  a  Theological  Seminary  in  or  near  Philadelphia  for 
the  training  of  Lutheran  ministers  was  one  of  the  most  important  objects 
comprehended  in  his  call.  Accordingly,  in  1749,  one  year  after  the 
Ministerium  of  Pennsylvania  was  organized,  he  bought  a  lot  of  ground  in 
the  city  and  deeded  it  to  Dr.  Ziegenhagen  in  London  and  Dr.  Francke  in 
Halle  to  be  held  in  trust  for  this  purpose.  While  the  project  was  long 
delayed,  the  Minutes  of  the  Ministerium,  especially  in  1769,  1773,  1804,  1805, 
1820,  show  that  it  never  departed  from  the  mind  of  the  Church,  and 
repeated  plans  were  proposed  and  efforts  made  toward  its  beginning. 

To  supply  the  lack  of  an  institution,  the  Ministerium  from  time  to  time 
appointed  certain  of  its  abler  members  to  give  candidates  for  the  ministry 
the  needed  preparation.  In  1804  the  Revs.  F.  V.  Melsheimer,  J.  H.  Helmuth, 
D.D.,  J.  F.  Schmidt,  D.D.,  J.  G.  Lochman.  D.D.,  F.  W.  Geissenhainer,  D.D., 
and  C.  Streit,  were  elected  theological  instructors  to  whom  students  should 
resort,  and  some  $500  were  contributed  as  the  nucleus  of  a  Seminary  Fund. 
Dr.  Demme,  Dr.  Mann  and  others  later  gave  similar  private  instruction. 
Many  useful  ministers  and  some  of  the  more  influential  leaders  of  the 
Church  were  thus  trained  in  the  parsonages  of  busy  pastors.  An  unsuc¬ 
cessful  attempt  was  made  (1842-44)  to  unite  in  the  support  of  the  College 
and  Seminary  at  Columbus,  Ohio,  where  Dr.  C.  F.  Schaeffer  was  for  some 
years  a  theological  professor,  and  to  which  institution  Dr.  C.  R.  Demme 
had  also  been  called. 

About  1850  a  beginning  was  made  of  a  union  with  the  institutions  at 
Gettysburg,  when  the  interests  of  the  Ministerium  in  Franklin  College,  at 
Lancaster,  Pa.,  were  sold  to  the  Reformed  Church,  and  the  proceeds  used 
to  establish  the  Franklin  Professorship  at  Pennsylvania  (now  Gettysburg) 
College.  In  1850  Dr.  F.  A.  Muhlenberg  became  the  first  incumbent  of 
this  professorship.  In  1856  the  Ministerium  added  another  professorship, 
whose  incumbent  had  the  double  duty  of  teaching  Theology  in  German  in 
the  Seminary  and  teaching  the  German  Language  and  Literature  in  the 
College.  This  professorship  was  partially  endowed  through  the  indefatigable 
efforts  of  the  Rev.  Benjamin  Keller  by  collections  made  principally  from 
congregations  of  the  Ministerium.  From  1856  to  1864  it  was  filled  by  Dr. 
C.  F.  Schaeffer,  who  in  the  latter  year  was  transferred  to  Philadelphia. 
When  the  Ministerium  had  founded  its  own  Seminary  at  Philadelphia  and 
its  College  at  Allentown,  all  claims  to  rights  arising  from  its  former 
relations  were  ultimately  relinquished.

PHILADELPHIA  SEMINARY  RECORD 


During  the  convulsion  of  the  Civil  War,  in  1864,  the  importance  of  the 
establishment  of  a  Theological  Seminary  in  the  place  originally  designed 
for  it  by  Muhlenberg  became  apparent.  It  was  confidently  expected  that 
with  such  an  institution  unreservedly  based  upon  the  Lutheran  Confessions, 
with  a  longer  course  of  study  than  was  then  usual,  and  with  the  wants  of 
all  parts  of  the  Church  in  view,  all  the  rapidly  expanding  needs  of  the 
Church,  both  in  English  and  in  German,  throughout  the  whole  country, 
would  be  better  met  than  ever  before. 

1864 

President  C.  W.  Schaeffer,  D.  D.,  in  his  annual  report  to  the  Ministerium 
of  Pennsylvania,  meeting  in  Pottstown,  Pa.,  called  attention  to  ‘'the  duty 
of  making  more  ample  provision  for  the  education  of  pastors.  .  .  .  The 
necessity  of  definite  and  liberal  action  is  now  upon  us.  .  . 

May  25th,  the  Ministerium  resolved,  “That  in  the  Name  of  the  Lord  we 
now  determine  to  undertake  the  establishment  of  a  Theological  Seminary.” 

A  Committee  consisting  of  the  Revs.  C.  F.  Welden,  W.  J.  Mann,  F.  C. 
H.  Lampe,  and  Messrs.  C.  F.  Norton  and  Charles  A.  Heinitsh  presented  a 
plan  the  following  day.  Consideration  was  postponed  to  a  special  meeting, 
held  July  26th  in  Allentown.  The  first  three  items,  viz.,  that  the  Seminary 
should  be  unreservedly  based  on  all  the  Lutheran  Confessions,  that  it  should 
be  located  in  Philadelphia,  and  that  instruction  should  be  in  English  and  in 
German,  were  adopted. 

Another  Committee,  consisting  of  the  Revs.  G.  F.  Krotel,  J.  Kohler. 
F.  W.  Geissenhainer,  J.  T.  Vogelbach,  and  Messrs.  G.  Lindauer,  James 
Dinkey  and  Charles  A.  Heinitsh,  reported  further  plans  the  following  day, 
recommending  three  regular  professors,  one  to  have  charge  of  the  English 
Department,  one  of  the  German  Department,  and  one  to  cover  both  lan¬ 
guages  ;  and  several  assistant  professors.  This  was  adopted  and  Dr.  C.  F. 
Schaeffer  was  elected  the  first  regular  professor;  Dr.  W.  J.  Mann,  Professor 
in  the  German  Department ;  and  Dr.  C.  P.  Krauth,  Professor  in  the  English 
Department.  Drs.  C.  W.  Schaeffer  and  G.  F.  Krotel  were  elected  Assistant 
Professors.  It  was  also  resolved  to  invite  neighboring  Synods  to  co-operate, 
any  Synod  endowing  a  Professorship  to  have  the  right  to  nominate  the 
incumbent,  with  final  election  by  the  Ministerium  of  Pennsylvania. 

A  provisional  Board  of  Directors,  consisting  of  eleven  ministers  and 
nine  laymen,  was  elected,  and  steps  were  taken  to  open  the  Seminary  at 
once  and  to  secure  endowment.  The  following  constituted  this  provisional 
Board  of  Directors:  Ministers:  the  Revs.  W.  J.  Eyer,  F.  W.  Geissenhainer, 
D.D.,  C.  F.  Welden,  D.D.,  G.  A.  Wenzel,  D.D.,  J.  T.  Vogelbach,  B.  M. 
Schmucker,  D.D.,  S.  K.  Brobst,  J.  Kohler,  D.D.,  G.  F.  Miller,  J.  J.  Kuendig, 
F.  Herold.  Laymen:  Dr.  F.  A.  Muhlenberg,  Dr.  H.  H.  Muhlenberg,

Genuth,  James  Dinkey. 

October  3d  the  Professors  were  installed  at  a  service  in  St.  John’s 
Church,  the  opening  address  being  made  by  Dr.  F.  W.  Geissenhainer,  Presi¬ 
dent  of  the  Board;  the  charge  to  the  Professors  given  by  the  Rev.  B.  M. 
Schtnucker,  English  Secretary,  and  the  inaugural  in  behalf  of  the  Faculty 
by  Dr.  Krauth. 

October  4th,  the  Seminary  opened  in  rooms  on  the  second  floor  of  the 
Lutheran  Publication  Society,  42  North  Ninth  Street,  Philadelphia,  with 
eleven  students. 

Mr.  Charles  F.  Norton,  of  St.  Mark’s  Church,  Philadelphia,  son-in-law 
of  the  Rev.  Benjamin  Keller,  gave  $30,000  to  endow  the  first  Professorship. 

The  Philadelphia  Seminary  was  the  first  Lutheran  institution  in  the 
country  to  provide  a  standard  course  in  Theology  covering'  three  full  years. 

1865 

June  14th,  the  endowment  of  the  second  Professorship  was  assumed  by 
the  Ministerium. 

The  purchase  of  a  Seminary  building,  212  Franklin  Street,  north  of 
Race  Street,  was  approved,  and  a  Constitution  adopted. 

1866 

The  first  annual  report  of  the  Board  of  Directors  showed  twenty-five 
students  in  attendance,  and  subscriptions  totaling  $80,000.  All  funds  were 
held  by  the  Ministerium  in  trust  for  the  Seminary. 

1867 

The  first  class  to  receive  three  years*  instruction,  and  consisting  of  eight 
members,  graduated. 

1869 

The  Board  of  Directors  was  authorized  to  procure  ground  and  erect  a 
suitable  building,  but  was  not  financially  able  to  do  so. 

1871 

Total  funds  in  possession  of  the  Seminary  were  reported  as  $76,000,  of 
which  $10,000  was  invested  in  the  Seminary  building.  The  salary  of  the 
regular  Professors  was  reported  as  entirely  inadequate,  one  of  them  only 
having  received  one-third  of  his  salary  to  date,  and  the  Assistant  Professors 
having  received  no  compensation  whatsoever. 

11 


PHILADELPHIA  SEMINARY  RECORD 


1872 

The  Ministerium  of  New  York  offered  to  endow  a  Professorship  and 
to  pay  $2,000  a  year  salary  for  a  Professor  until  the  endowment  was  com¬ 
pleted,  which  plan  was  accepted  by  the  Ministerium  of  Pennsylvania.  Mrs. 
Anna  M.  Burkhalter,  of  Trinity  Church,  New  York  City,  also  announced 
her  intention  of  endowing  an  English  Professorship. 

1873 

Dr.  C.  W.  Schaeffer  accepted  the  call  as  a  regular  Professor  on  the 
Burkhalter  Foundation. 

The  Ministerium  accepted  the  total  payments  of  $24,820  made  by  St. 
John’s  Church,  Philadelphia,  as  entitling  the  congregation  to  a  Professor¬ 
ship.  Dr.  C.  F.  Schaeffer  was  named  as  the  first  incumbent. 

The  use  of  a  building  lot  adjoining  the  Seminary  building  was  given  by 
Zion’s  and  St.  Paul’s  congregations,  and  the  Seminary  building  was  en¬ 
larged  to  accommodate  sixty  students,  and  opened  February  10th.  The 
Rev.  C.  F.  Heyer  was  secured  as  House  Chaplain  and  served  until  his 
death,  in  1874.  Sunday  Schools  and  other  societies  contributed  $2,200 
toward  furnishing  the  rooms. 

The  Rev.  A.  Spaeth  was  elected  to  the  New  York  Ministerium  Profes¬ 
sorship,  and  September  10th  he  and  Dr.  C.  W.  Schaeffer  were  installed,  thus 
making  five  regular  professors  in  the  Faculty. 

1875 

Fifty-six  students  were  reported  in  attendance.  7  Dr.  Mann  became 
House  Chaplain. 

1879 

The  number  of  members  of  the  Board  was  changed  to  forty,  of  whom 
thirty-two  were  elected  by  the  Ministerium  of  Pennsylvania  and  eight  by 
the  New  York  Ministerium.  This  ratio  was  determined  by  the  fact  that 
the  Ministerium  of  Pennsylvania  had  contributed  $170,000  for  buildings 
and  endowment,  and  the  New  York  Ministerium  had  assumed  responsibility 
for  $30,000. 

1881 

The  question  of  possible  removal  to  secure  more  healthful  conditions 
was  discussed.  Several  deaths  had  occurred  among  the  students  in  previous 
years.  The  need  for  proper  room  for  the  Library  and  for  a  resident 
Professor  was  greatly  felt. 

1882 

Theodore  E.  Schmauk,  then  a  student  in  the  Seminary,  reorganized  the 
Library  and  founded  and  edited  the  Indicator.

HISTORICAL  SUMMARY 


1883 

January  2d,  Dr.  Krauth  died.  His  family  presented  the  greater  part  of 
his  library,  considered  one  of  the  finest  private  theological  collections  in  the 
country,  to  the  Seminary.  The  Ministerium  accepted  it  for  the  Institution 
and  provided  an  annuity  of  $500  in  favor  of  Mrs.  Krauth,  which  was 
continued  until  her  death  in  1900. 

The  Ministerium  undertook  as  part  of  the  celebration  of  the  400th 
anniversary  of  Luther’s  birth,  to  enter  upon  an  effort  to  erect  new  buildings. 

May  16th,  Dr.  Henry  E.  Jacobs  was  elected  Norton  Professor  of 
Systematic  Theology  to  succeed  Dr.  Krauth. 

1884 

A  Committee  of  the  Board  of  Directors  appointed  to  examine  sites, 
after  considering  more  than  a  hundred,  recommended  the  purchase  of  a 
tract  of  six  acres  beyond  the  Fifty-second  Street  Station  of  the  Pennsyl¬ 
vania  Railroad  in  West  Philadelphia.  The  Library  was  stored  in  a  ware¬ 
house. 

The  Rev.  Reuben  Hill,  D.D.,  was  called  as  Agent  of  the  Seminary, 
October  1st. 

1885 

The  West  Philadelphia  site  was  purchased  for  $24,506.85.  Sixty-two 
students  in  the  Seminary. 

1886 

April  12th,  a  special  meeting  of  the  Board  considered  a  report  of  the 
Building  Committee,  which,  because  of  dissatisfaction  with  the  West  Phila¬ 
delphia  site,  had  examined  twenty  additional  sites,  and  recommended  the 
purchase  of  a  property  in  Mt.  Airy. 

June  14th,  this  location  was  visited,  and  the  Ministerium,  at  its  meeting, 
authorized  the  purchase  of  the  Mt.  Airy  property,  nearly  six  acres,  on 
Germantown  Avenue  at  Allen  Lane,  for  $35,741.83.  The  Synod  authorized 
an  issue  of  bonds  for  $30,000  and  the  sale  of  the  Fifty-second  Street  prop¬ 
erty.  The  sum  of  $100,000  was  apportioned  to  the  parishes  to  secure  funds 
for  new  buildings.  The  Mt.  Airy  property  was  purchased  from  the  Go  wen 
family,  September  29th.  It  is  rich  in  historical  associations,  being  the 
former  home  of  Chief  Justice  Allen  prior  to  the  Revolution,  and  the  actual 
site  of  the  beginning  of  the  Battle  of  Germantown.  Later  a  Military 
Academy  and  afterwards  an  Agricultural  College  had  been  conducted  here. 

1888 

April  15th,  work  was  begun  on  the  new  dormitory,  a  three-story  build¬ 
ing  approximately  110  feet  square,  composed  of  seven  compartments

separated  by  fireproof  walls  grouped  about  a  central  court  37  by  80  feet, 
the  arrangement  providing  a  bedroom  and  a  study  communicating,  to  be 
used  jointly  by  two  students. 

May  22d,  the  cornerstone  was  laid  by  Dr.  Krotel,  President  of  the 
Ministerium,  with  addresses  by  Professors  C.  W.  Schaeffer  and  W.  J.  Mann. 

October  15th,  Dr.  B.  M.  Schmucker,  for  twenty-four  years  Secretary  of 
the  Board  of  Directors,  died. 

1889 

Dr.  Hill  was  made  General  Superintendent  of  the  grounds  and  buildings. 

October  4th,  on  the  twenty-fifth  anniversary  of  the  original  opening  of 
the  Seminary  on  North  Ninth  Street,  the  new  buildings  at  Mt.  Airy  were 
dedicated,  and  the  Seminary  began  its  work  there.  In  the  first  twenty-five 
years  of  its  history  321  graduates  had  left  its  walls. 

Several  thousand  people  were  reported  present  at  the  dedication.  The 
Matin  Service  was  used.  Dr.  Seiss,  President  of  the  Board,  delivered  the 
address  and  conducted  the  Service  of  Dedication.  Dr.  Krotel  and  Dr. 
Spaeth  also  delivered  addresses.

Miss  Elizabeth  Schaeffer,  of  the  Church  of  the  Holy  Communion,  gave 
$30,000,  half  of  which  was  devoted  to  the  erection  of  two  Professors’ 
houses,  which  were  built  in  this  year.  The  balance  was  devoted  to  other 
necessary  improvements,  and  to  the  entire  cost  of  the  Boyer  Street  house 
erected  two  years  before. 

The  expansion  of  the  Seminary  life  made  more  and  more  evident  the 
need  of  a  Library  building  and  of  a  Chapel. 

1897 

Ninety-two  students  in  attendance.  The  report  of  the  Dean,  analyzing 
the  statistics  of  the  last  eight  classes  graduated,  showed  the  requirements 
of  the  Church  to  have  been  for  pastors  preaching  exclusively  in  English, 
51  per  cent,  of  the  graduates;  pastors  preaching  exclusively  in  German,  10 
per  cent. ;  pastors  preaching  partly  in  German,  46  per  cent.

Missouri  Synods  respectively,  and  one  from  the  United  Evangelical  Church. 

1903

York  Ministerium,  the  Pittsburgh  Synod  and  the  Synod  of  New  York  and 
New  England  accepted  the  invitation  of  the  Ministerium  to  elect  two

"it  has  made  possible  a  revolution  of  method  and  material;  it  has  greatly 
furthered  the  advanced  work  of  the  Graduate  School,  and  has  encouraged 
habits  of  reading  and  research  among  many  of  the  abler  and  more  recent 
students.  It  has  devoted  a  vast  amount  of  time  to  more  general  interests 
of  the  Church,  especially  in  connection  with  the  editing  of  the  Common 
Service  Book.  It  has  made  a  good  beginning  by- keeping  in  touch  with  the 
Alumni  and  others  and  supplying  them  with  literature  for  special  investi¬ 
gation.  The  circulation  during  this  year  has  increased  33  per  cent,  over 
that  of  the  preceding  year.” 

1918 

The  value  of  the  Seminary  property  was  reported  at  approximately

A  development  of  great  importance,  as  affecting  the  material  and  the 
method  of  instruction,  was  the  preparation  of  an  entirely  new  curriculum

HISTORICAL  SUMMARY 


Department  of  Ethics,  Apologetics  and  Pedagogy,  died.  The  Seminary 
received  from  his  estate  a  gift  of  $5,000  for  General  Endowment  and  a 
large  part  of  his  extensive  library. 

Eighty- four  students  were  in  attendance,  many  of  whom  had  seen 
military  service  overseas,  and  several  of  whom  had  been  wounded. 

Mr.  E.  Clarence  Miller,  of  Philadelphia,  gave  $29,000  to  the  Seminary 
to  clear  accumulated  deficit  and  to  purchase  an  additional  tract  of  ground, 
225  by  185  feet,  immediately  adjoining  the  grove.  Extensive  improvements 
were  made  in  the  Dormitories. 

The  By-Laws  of  the  Seminary  were  revised,  the  office  of  the  Dean  was 
abolished,  and  Professor  Henry  E.  Jacobs,  D.D.,  LL.D.,  was  elected  the 
first  President  of  the  Seminary.  Mr.  E.  Clarence  Miller,  of  Philadelphia, 
was  elected  President  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  the  first  layman  to  hold 
this  position. 

June  2d,  the  Ministerium  of  Pennsylvania  added  $5,000  to  its  budget  of 
Synodical  apportionments  for  the  work  of  the  Seminary. 

The  Rev.  Emil  E.  Fischer,  ’07,  of  Allentown,  Pa.,  was  elected  a  Pro¬ 
fessor  on  the  Ministerium’ s  Professorship  and  was  subsequently  assigned 
the  Department  of  Ethics  and  Apologetics.  He  was  installed  on  Seminary 
Day. 

The  Faculty  assumed  entire  editorial  responsibility  for  the  Lutheran 
Church  Review,  and  Professors  C.  M.  Jacobs  and  Reed  were  appointed  the 
Editorial  Committee.  The  Alumni  Association  assumed  responsibility  of 
publication. 

Of  the  twenty-five  graduates,  two  went  out  as  missionaries  to  India,  and 
the  rest  accepted  calls  from  Canada  to  Texas,  and  as  far  west  as  the 
Mississippi. 

The  New  York  Ministerium,  the  Pittsburgh  Synod  and  the  Synod  of 
New  York  and  New  England  accepted  the  invitation  of  the  Ministerium 
of  Pennsylvania  and  elected  four  delegates  each  on  the  Board  of  Directors. 

The  Rev.  John  C.  Seegers,  D.D.,  ’91,  of  Wilmington,  N.  C.,  was  elected 
a  Professor  and  assigned  the  Department  of  Homiletics  and  Pastoral 
Theology. 

The  Faculty  proposed  plans  for  Seminary  Expansion,  which  were  thor¬ 
oughly  elaborated  by  a  Committee  of  the  Board,  Professor  Reed,  Chairman, 
and  approved  by  the  Board  at  a  special  meeting,  xA.pril  15th,  and  reported 
to  the  Synods. 

Lay  members  of  the  Board  of  Directors  subscribed  $2,500  for  European 
book  purchase.

PHILADELPHIA  SEMINARY  RECORD 


1922 

Ninety-seven  students  reported  in  attendance  (twenty  in  the  Graduate 
School),  exhausting  the  capacity  of  the  dormitories.  The  students  came 
from  twelve  different  States  and  from  Canada,  Czecho-Slovakia,  India, 
Japan  and  Turkey. 

The  library  of  the  Rev.  Johann  Mgebroff,  of  Brenham,  Texas,  was 
purchased  and  presented  to  the  Seminary  by  Mr.  E.  Clarence  Miller.  This 
added  about  1,500  volumes,  rich  in  historic  material,  to  the  collection. 

The  firm  of  Day  &  Klauder,  architects,  Philadelphia,  was  engaged  to 
prepare  a  Comprehensive  Development  Plan  for  the  Institution,  and  this 
plan,  which  provides  for  a  harmonious  and  beautiful  group  of  buildings, 
was  adopted  by  the  Board  at  its  annual  meeting.  (Described  in  Seminary 
Bulletin,  June,  1922.) 

October  3d  to  4th,  an  Institute  was  held  in  New  York  City  in  connection 
with  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Eastern  Conference  of  the  New  York  and 
New  England  Synod,  at  which  all  the  Professors  delivered  lectures  and 
conducted  discussions. 

December  30th,  Professor  Benze  sailed  for  Moscow  on  leave  of  absence 
from  the  Seminary  to  serve  as  a  Commissioner  of  the  National  Lutheran 
Council  in  charge  of  Relief  Work. 


1923 

The  eighty-nine  students  in  attendance  have  received  their  preparatory 
training  in  thirty-five  different  Colleges  and  Universities. 

As  this  book  goes  to  press,  Day  and  Klauder,  architects,  are  completing 
plans  for  the  new  Recitation  Building,  the  first  unit  of  the  proposed  group 
of  buildings,  and  the  first  payment  has  been  made  in  purchase  of  the 
Hammer  property,  consisting  of  a  large  and  handsome  residence  with  ample 
grounds  adjoining  the  Seminary  campus  and  extending  the  latter  to  Gowen 
Avenue.

Polity,  its  Constitution  for  Congregations,  and  similar  basic  material. 
He  was  an  active  member  of  the  Ministerium  of  Pennsylvania’s  English

Church  Reviezv,  many  of  which  were  lengthy  and  were  reprinted  sepa¬ 
rately.  He  was  associate  editor  of  Johnson’s  Encyclopedia,  contributing
